Northeast Airlines

Common card · No. 448701

Northeast Airlines was a trunk carrier, a scheduled airline based in Boston, Massachusetts, originally founded in 1931 as Boston-Maine Airways that chiefly operated in the Northeastern United States, and later to Canada, Florida, the Bahamas, Bermuda and other cities. It was notably small and unprofitable relative to other trunk carriers, being less than half the size, by revenue, than the next biggest trunk in 1971. Northeast was acquired by and merged into Delta Air Lines in August 1972. From 1975 onward, Air New England was essentially a reincarnation of many of the New England routes of Northeast Airlines, complete with the aircraft Northeast used to fly those routes and Northeast's IATA code.
